The NBA All-Defensive teams for 2019 were announced on Wednesday and Brooklyn Nets veteran small forward Jared Dudley isn't pleased with the results.
Dudley says Houston Rockets combo forward P.J. Tucker should have been voted to one of the teams and Toronto Raptors star swingman Kawhi Leonard should have been on the first team instead of the second.
The Nets forward wants players to get a vote next season, just like the All-Star voting format.

This happens every season when the All-Defensive, All-Rookie and All-NBA teams are announced. Players are always going to get snubbed.
Tucker has never made an All-Defensive team before, something he and Chris Paul talked about this season. Leonard, meanwhile, is arguably the best one-on-one defender in the NBA. Clearly, Dudley is confused by who the media voted for this season. The Nets veteran is hoping his tweet can start a change in the voting process.
Dudley, who made $9,530,000 this season with the Nets, becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer. He's never been one to mince words and that will likely never change. Dudley often goes on Twitter rants to voice his displeasure with various topics around the NBA. He's definitely one of the best personalities we have in the league.
